This meal is so filling, it’s amazing how low calories it is really because this is a huge amount of food.
Its a recipe that I came up with on a whim because I had some leftover fajita seasoning and it has turned it to be one of my most popular recipes.
Seriously, everyone who tries it just falls in love – even meat eaters enjoy this one.

If you do then your wrap will stick and would will have to have deconstructed enchiladas
If, like me, chopping onions make you cry then use a food processor to chop your onions. Just peel the outer skin off, but then into quarters or halves (depending how big your onion is), Andy pop them in the food processor. Make sure you do short bursts in the processor and keep checking on them or you may end up with onion paste instead of finely chopped onion!
Assembling this can be a bit tricky. If you hold the wrap it’s hard to get all of the mix in and it will start to fall everywhere. I make them by laying the tortilla in the baking dish first and making the enchilada in the dish. It’s much easier and doesn’t matter if the mix goes everywhere.

They also tend to be a bit softer than dried chickpeas so they cook quicker and have a better consistency.. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_gap _id=”30″ ][cs_element_line _id=”31″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”32″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”33″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”34″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”35″ ][cs_element_text _id=”36″ ][cs_content_seo]
